Jesus wouldn't vote for the atheistic American left. Would you vote for a candidate who claims YOU don't exist?

Do you expect an America to vote for Kerry after he called them "criminals"? Think again...

24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, "Children, how hard it is[5] to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
26The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, "Who then can be saved?"
27Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God."

Incidentally, AS, in the next chapter Jesus says that divorce is wrong. Do you think we ought to keep people who have been divorced out of public office?

Think of all those rich democrats in congress going to hell. That'd actually be most of them.

BTW. One explanation for the text is that "The eye of the needle" is a very narrow gate in the walls of Jerusalam. A camel can get through it but he has to drop all his baggage first. This explanation is not without critics.

Another is that Camel is a misinterpretation of the word rope. Still pretty difficult.

The thing to focus on is that last part of the passage - With God all things are possible.
